While physics is not a requirement, to be well prepared, students are encouraged to seek courses that provide a foundational understanding of fluids, gases, and pressure variations.

MCAT

Medical College Admissions Test scores are required for U.S. and Canadian applicants (and strongly encouraged for all applicants). Scores must be from exams taken within the past four years. MCAT results can be released to the admissions department directly from the AAMC website.

Letter(s) of Recommendation - Must come directly from the letter writer. Recommended sources are your University Pre-health advising office, professors, physicians, supervisors who are not family members and who can confirm the applicant’s academic ability and/or provide evidence of positive character traits. This requirement may be satisfied with one packet by a combined committee that prepares such letters otherwise, two letters must be provided, one of which must be from an academic source. Applicants may utilize our reference request form to initiate the process.

Transcripts from all post-secondary schools attended—undergraduate colleges, graduate and/or professional programs attended. Unofficial transcripts are acceptable to initiate the admissions process. Prior to matriculation, official transcripts from each institution must be submitted directly to the Office of Admissions from the issuing institution.

It's really a collaborative environment. At a lot of the bigger schools, people are competitive; they're weeding people out. Here, the goal is to be in a group of people you can work with. Everyone wants to be a physician, so you help each other get there.
